Congrats to the new reigning, first time ever, champions of the 2018 Open Mixed Doubles Champs - the Jay Gillespie Trophy, Granite Club’s STEPHANIE EDMISON & ARJUN GUPTA in a dramatic nail biting epic 5th game, facing 4 match balls against them, they miraculously came back and stole it from the Canadian record holder, 8-time Open Mixed Doubles Champ Stephanie Hewitt and her partner, 2015 Open Mixed Doubles Champ, Will Mariani. [9 (8) (6) 11, 14].

After the Open finals saturday evening, the fans at the Parkway were not sure the action could get much better, but the sunday finals did not disappoint! There was SERIOUSLY no lack of talent this weekend as rubber burned the walls of Mayfair Parkway on Super Sunday at the 2019 Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Canadian Mixed Doubles Squash Championships at Mayfair Parkway. More than any club in Canada, Parkway members seriously know how to genuinely embrace, heckle and/or applaud the talent. Clearly this weekend, most teams were evenly matched stretching dramatic decisions to five setters

Mixed 55+ Final Cathy Tuckwell & Bob Ferguson had another epic final over the new formed team of Diane Naughton & Eric Windeler 11 (14) 10 14

Mixed 55+ 3/4 s Jann Taylor & Al Hunt decided they enjoyed stress and a tad more court time as they finally found their way to victory (10) 14,11 (14) 10 over a very talented Sandra Shaw & Phil Stables

Mixed 55+ Consolation Final - Yuill McGregor (seriously asleep at the switch at his 1st round) & Anita Saunders finally demonstrated their true winning capabilities winning 6,7,17 over Gayle Woods and her return from the long lost past super star partner John Shales

Mixed 40+ Final Mary McKee & Scott Dulmage (Scott now 9th National Mixed Doubles title) had their hand full battling it out 12,12 (9) 13 over the exceptionally talented team of Annette White & Chris Deratnay

Mixed B Final What was expected to be the highlight of the afternoon ended in disappointment as Ontario Mixed B finalists Natalie Morrison & Mark Warren slammed the door on the fairly tail run of unseeded Kelly Ann Zander & Stavros Angelopolous 8,7,8 when Kelly Ann injured her ankle at the beginning of the 2nd game
